At PM1, we know that great sports events aren’t just about the final score, they’re about the full fan experience. Whether you’re building a tailgate village, illuminating an arena, or running sound for thousands of fans, execution is everything. Behind every memorable sports moment is a rock-solid event production plan and seamless execution
That’s why we’ve compiled a Sports Event Production Checklist that’ll help you run up the score, on logistics, not just the field.
Production Strategy: Don’t Skip the Huddle
Before the crowd shows up and the action begins, it all starts with pre-production planning. This sports event checklist helps you:
- Identify venue-specific challenges (stadium size, field access, indoor vs. outdoor)
- Pinpoint power, rigging, and technical requirements
- Lock in crew schedules and load-in timelines
- Confirm gear and backup systems
Equipment: Bring the A-Team
Every event is different, but from high school fields to pro stadiums, these items are always important:
- Staging platforms and camera risers for optimal sightlines and media angles
- LED video walls for sponsor content, replays, and crowd engagement
- Broadcast-quality lighting for TV and streaming
- Wireless comms to keep your crew connected across the venue
Need gear fast? Our warehouses, located across North America, are stocked and standing by.
Audio & Visual: Make It Loud, Make It Clear
You can’t hype a crowd with unclear sound or underwhelming visuals. Our checklist covers:
- Strategic speaker placement for clear, even sound
- Mapped microphone and wireless frequencies to prevent interference
- Jumbotron feeds and live-stream integration for a full-scope experience
Our team will walk the field with you to map the best setup for your event footprint.
Logistics & Crew: Don’t Get Benched by a Bottleneck
Coordination is key, especially when timelines are tight. We make sure you check:
- Loading dock access and parking
- Security and credentialing
- Run-of-show programming
- Emergency and weather contingencies
We also know you need a reliable event production team who show up on time and know the game. Our PM1 crew, from account managers to production assistants, has you covered.
